About Brookdale Premier Addiction Recovery
Brookdale Premier Addiction Recovery occupies a scenic Pocono campus at 2455 Back Mountain Road in Scotrun, Pennsylvania, with a private lake, walking trails, indoor and outdoor pools, and private and semi-private cabins. The program is part of Discovery Addiction Services and was named a top-ranked Pennsylvania addiction program for 2025 by Newsweek.
Clinical programming centers on medical detox and residential treatment, with outpatient services available as a step-down. The clinical model emphasizes measurement-based care – patients undergo assessments at preadmission and intake, ongoing evaluation across 27 wellness indicators (including depression, anxiety, and substance use screening), and post-treatment analysis through the Discovery for Life program. The therapeutic toolkit is unusually broad: cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, 12-step integration, SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma, Seeking Safety, family education, and specialty groups for grief and loss.
The leadership team is led by CEO Jennifer Russo, MA, LPC, LCADC, ACS, with Douglas Coslett, M.D., serving as Medical Director. The program offers a low patient-to-staff ratio, two weekly individual therapy sessions in standard programming and five weekly with the Signature Program. The campus amenities – private lake fishing, sauna, tennis and basketball courts, bocce, fire pit, recreation center – are designed to support clients across an extended residential stay.
Brookdale serves veterans, young adults, men, and women, treating substance use disorder alongside co-occurring conditions including trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The program accepts private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, and self-pay, with specific commercial carrier verification available through the website’s Verify Insurance form. Accreditation includes Joint Commission, CARF, and LegitScript certification.
